![]() Sadly, Replays aren’t even available on Nintendo Switch, so those players are out of luck. The method to absolutely identify Bots is only available if you have Replays enabled. Use the Player List in Replays with Squad ID Enabled You can use the name as a hint, especially if over time you start to see the same names over and over in your differnet games, but it’s not a very good indicator all by itself. ![]() Some additional examples are HippoMagician, Sn00tyMagician, Quack4Bread, Allsmyles:D. Additionally, Bots actually have several formats for their names. While this is often true, there’s nothing in the game that prevents a real player from setting their name to something similar to this. ![]() It was often thought that a name with one or two words followed by a number (e.g. Bot Names are Not a Good IndicatorĮver since Bots were added to the game in Chapter 2, people have speculated about how to identify bots and one of the common thoughts was that Bot names match a specific format. It’s unknown why this is the case, but you’ll notice once you start paying attention to the Bots. In fact, Bots very frequently wear the previous season’s Battle Pass skins. Bots can’t buy the Battle Pass, so the current season’s Battle Pass skins (such as Tarana, Raz, Agent Jones, Rebirth Raven, etc.) are never going to be worn by a Bot. Setting to Enable Anonymous Mode Bots Do Not Wear the Current Season’s Battle Pass Skinsīattle Pass skins are only useable by players that have the Battle Pass. So if you eliminate, or are eliminated by an ‘Anonymous’ player, that’s definitely not a Bot. For a player to make their name anonymous they must specifically enable a setting, which the Bots can’t/don’t do. This is because, by default, player names are not anonymized. This is probably obvious, but in case it’s not, Bots will not show up as ‘Anonymous’. So how do you confirm that you did indeed have Bots, how many were in your match and specifically which players these Bots are? Bots Cannot Use ‘Anonymous’ Mode This is true even if you think that you don’t have Bots in your lobbies (presumably this assumption is made because the player is at a high enough skill level that Bots aren’t necessary for their matches). In this article, Fortnite specifically says “as your skill improves, you’ll face fewer Bots.” This is the first signal to be aware that all public matches (aka “pubs”) have Bots in them. (These Bots are often referred to as AI by the community, because the term ‘bots’ has often been used to refer to low-skill players.) Bots were added in combination with Skill-Based Match Making (SBMM) to give players more ability to develop their skills. Fortnite first announced that they were going to be adding Bots to the game “next Season”, which ended up being Chapter 2 Season 1.
